I have this craving for vegetarian food sometimes, especially after days of meaty diet and MiaoYi is one of the favourite place I like to dine in. Mostly crowded, this medium sized restaurant situated at the upper floors of Bukit Timah Plaza is one of the famous haunts for yummy vegetarian food with its many different varieties of dishes and and localised cooking style.
Service is exceptionally friendly and warm, while the menu was like any that of a typical chinese restaurant with meat ingredients replaced with vegetables, mushrooms and bean products. My friend that I've brought with was impressed with the selection and we proceeded to order a few of these yummy food.
1) Yam Ring - Was really well executed, loads of ingredients and yummy
2) Mixed Veg - Delicious mixed veg made a little watery, great to eat with rice
3) Ginger Rice - Reminded me of chicken rice was fragrant and paired with the food super well.. I kinda felt detoxed when I am having the rice.
4) Fried noodles - is one of my favourite and tasted very balance, a little on the less salty side yet felt healthy.
5) Roasted Pig - Yes they do have this roast pig which is some mushroom and bean products combined to mimic the meaty dish, while we were awed by how familiar it looked, the taste was quite near to the actual thing.

Will I return: YES of Course Will I bring friends: YES of Course

I'm not usually a vegetarian and I believe in beef, pork and the varied delicacies living in the ocean, however this restaurant changed my concept of vegetarian cuisine totally.
The reason why I denied having vegetarian meals is because of the MOCK chicken, Mock liver, Mock whatever that is made using flour and gluten based products, made to have the texture and flavor of meat. I always wondered the act of consumption of MOCK MEAT and deemed it ironical or to a certain extent oxymoronic. However, here in MiaoYi... the dishes are not totally made of gluten based products that taste almost the same. Each dish tasted distinctive and different from the regular meat dishes yet with its own vegetarian character.
1) Ginger Rice - Its nice, aromatic and delicious, though it reminded me a little of chicken rice.
2) Vegetarian Peking Duck - Its actually the mock duck (which is made by deep frying tofu and tofu skin) wrapped in fresh lettuce and cucumber with sweet sauce. Its yummy and crunchy and weirdly refreshing.
3) Vegetarian Seafood Soup - Which is an egg soup with plentiful of mushroom and more tofu. This one is regular for me.
4) Stewed mushroom - which is to mimic some internal organs of animal is actually braised mushroom of 2 kinds. Its smooth and very tasty. Great to go with rice and I must say healthy.
5) Fried Dumplings - Its a concoction of mushroom with black fungus and plentiful of vegetables, a very healthy combination.
6) Lastly we had sweet n sour pork - which is a deep fried balls of tofu skin wrapped with vegetables, mushroom and fungus in a sweet and sour sauce.. Though its not as hard as the real sweet and sour pork, I love this version a little bit more as its very chewable and healthy.
The presentation was fantastic and I like the part that alot of fresh vegetables were used in the dishes. Ingredients are fresh and most of the dishes are not deep fried. Occasional meals in this vegetarian restaurant could be an interesting change from the regular mundane meaty meals. It is very different from the other similar vegetarian restaurants and I must say defintely BETTER :)
Thumbs up for the good service and creative cuisines :)
